We've established the fact that there was no consultation with the industry because there was no confirmation that specifically occurred. I think we've also established the fact that there was no advice to industry that plantation logging was excluded, even though it's not expressly listed in the legislation, which is disturbing. I want to come to the line of questioning that Senator Cash was going down with regard to the supply chain. The logging of timber, native and plantation, is prohibited, according to the government. Can I ask about the value-add, and we'll start with native forestry? Could you please step me through what applications might be supported or funded under this program for value-add for native forest timber?
